Satin Stitch
Fold fabric in half to 4” x 6”. Use stabilizer as needed.
Select the Zigzag Stitch. Change the stitch length to satin stitch
and the stitch width to the widest possible.
Thread the bobbin thread through the eye in the bobbin case
finger if using a machine with a CB hook system. For machines
with a rotary bobbin system, loosen the needle tension slightly
and use the Embroidery (gold latch) Bobbin Case.
Move the needle position to the center. Sew along the center of
the fabric about 1”, then, while continuing to sew, decrease the
stitch width to taper the stitch to 0mm. Continue sewing, widening
the stitch back to maximum. Repeat until stitching reaches end
of fabric.
